THE ART BANK OF THE ART IN PUBLIC PLACES PROGRAM
www.capaccess.org/dccah

The D.C. Commission On The Arts And Humanities is purchasing artwork that captures archetypes of Washington. Obvious subjects include specific neighborhoods, parks and circles, festivals, gathering places, or cultural events. Less obvious motifs include downtown redevelopment, restaurants, shops, work places, or Metro stations. Artists should consider a broad range of subject matter as long as the works have an unmistakable subject reflecting life in contemporary Washington.

The committee is not interested in works that primarily document the federal aspect of the city. The artwork purchased through this call-for-entries will become part of the Commission's Art Bank. The Art Bank of the Art in Public Places Program is a small but growing collection of works by Washington artists. The works are retained by the D.C. Commission on the Arts and Humanities and are loaned to other District Government agencies for temporary display. A segment of the collection is being devoted to works that visually document Washington. This collection will help preserve the city's past and will be an important legacy for future generations.
